Started off the day with a behind the scenes tour of the Old Bailey with Janet. We were shown around by a police officer and taken all over the court house and into the historic areas. The highlights for me included going to the basements, seeing Deadman's Walk (an outdoor corridor where a series of archways getting increasingly narrower to make the condemned feel even more uncomfortable), a dark tunnel leading from the court to a church across the street, a hatch leading down to the Fleet River, the roof and court room #1.
After the tour Mom and I went to Notting Hill for lunch at Nandos and to walk around the neighborhood. In the evening we went to a lecture at the Tower, followed by a stop at a pub with Tricia, Katherine and Andrew. We decided to walk back to the flat via Westminster, the Mall and Buckingham Palace--It was really surreal with tons of people milling about and camping on the side of the road...all in union jack attire. Very excited for tomorrow!
